The True Story of the Acadians, 93rd Anniversary Edition with Index

by M.M. Le Blanc

Overview

This is the true history of the French Acadians, who settled French Acadia (now Nova Scotia) in the 1500's, only to live under British rule when King Louis XV ceded the territory to England in 1713. The French Acadians were victims of the tragic Exile and Deportation by the British in 1755, resulting in the intentional separation of families onto different ships bound for Europe, the Caribbean and the English Colonies. How these courageous Acadians endured one hardship after another proves their faith and courage under the most daunting circumstances and led to the Cajuns of today. Drawing from historical archives in France, Canada, Spain, Cuba and the United States, this valuable reference provides an index of names and dates which provide accurate historical research for historians, genealogists and lovers of history.
